Not Getting Burnt When Using a Glue Gun

To avoid getting hot glue on your fingers while using a glue gun, put a Bandaid on each of your finger tips before using the hot glue gun.
It really helps!

I've found puting lotion on my hands before using a hot glue gun prevents me from geting burned so much.
As far as using ice water, I wouldn't suggest it. My mom was a Burn Nurse for almost 20 years and ice or ice water is the worse thing you can put on a burn. Cold can actually burn you as well. It's actually more harmful than doing nothing. If you do get burned, putting cool water on the burn will sooth it.

Keep a small bowl of ice water nearby to plunge fingers in. Cools off the glue and the burn in a snap.
